Tuckaway tote for present

     I have had this pattern for over six months. Really wanted to make it. Other things got in the way. One thing was I am terrible at is understanding written patterns. They make me sweat and feel idiotic. However, I went to a luncheon that was a birthday luncheon and did not get that part of the info. I went home, pulled out the pattern and some batik and set to work. Did a lot of head scratching and ripping but, pulled it off, put it in the mail and hopefully, it was well received, even if belatedly. I want to make some more, even one for myself. Here it is folded and unfolded.
